Five Horse Johnson Die In The River Lyrics

My pony is swayin
And the heart is a heavy load
Somebodys payin
Hand em over my soul
Die here in the water
The animal of all my run
No use in prayin
Gonna pay for what I've done

Throw myself in the river
Wash my demons away
I gotta go down stream and get somewhere far away
Throw myself in the river
Wash my demons away
I gotta go down stream and get somewhere far away

Left my boat in the river
Love can't hold the weight
Just about 6 feet under
Where the black heart lay
Can't ride with my maker
Can't ride with my god
Save work for the undertaker
I finally finished the job

Throw myself in the river
Wash my demons away
I gotta go down stream and get somewhere far away
Throw myself in the river
Wash my demons away
I gotta go down stream and get somewhere far away

Throw myself in the river
Wash my demons away
I gotta go down stream and get somewhere far away
Throw myself in the river
Wash my demons away
I gotta go down stream and get somewhere far away, far away
